8-MINUTES OF LES MISERABLES

Watch 8-minutes of the musical event of the year with advanced footage from the film and cast & crew interviews. Will the Oscar-winning director of the King’s Speech bring us a ground-breaking filmed version of the mega-hit musical? Or will the experimental recording method ruin what hardcore musical geeks have been falling in love with since the 80′s? Musical geeks are split on what we might be in for… so take a look and let us know what YOU think!

CLOUD ATLAS REVIEW: And You Thought They Couldn’t Do Worse Than Speed Racer.

Dear god.

Just when you thought the Wachowski’s hit rock bottom with Speed Racer,the worst cartoon racing movie of all time, they manage to make Cloud Atlas, the worst Sci-Fi Film, the worst Pirate Movie, the worst Zany Geriatric Escape-Comedy, the worst Victorian Romance, the worst 70′s Blaxploitation flick, AND the worst Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy film ALL AT ONCE, smashing them into the most excruciatingly unbearable 3-hour marathon of audience abuse ever made.

But what did you think? Our review is on the way… which we weren’t going to bother with until it stole 3 hours of our lives away and we felt the deep responsibility to prevent it from happening to you, too.

DREDD 3D REVIEW: We agree, Karl Urban is the Law.

We have no Sylvester Stallone.

At least, not when it comes to Judge Dredd. As far as we’re concerned, Karl Urban is the law. Thanks to a pitch-perfect R-rated action film, Judge Dredd has finally made it to the screen in a way that is true to the comics that he first appeared in. Brutal, unflinching, and tough as nails, Dredd NEVER takes his helmet off in the film, and Matt was giddy as has was when he was 11 years old and reading his first 2000 A.D. Without any frame of reference but Sly’s miserable turn in the role in 1995, Nat definitely enjoyed the movie, while not on the level Matt did. What did you think? Let us know!

DREDD 3D PREVIEW: Let’s Pretend the Sly Movie Never Happened

In an attempt to simultaneously capitalize on a long-running, brilliant UK comic, the superhero-movie craze, and the movie-going audience’s apparent tolerance for reboots, we’ve got a new Judge Dredd movie on our hands. With the always-awesome Karl Urban on board as the man himself, and rumours that he never (rightly) takes the helmet off, a 2000 A.D.-loving Matt is already seeing hope for this indie, but Nat has no frame of reference for Judge Dredd other than Sly’s abysmal 1995 turn in the role.

Poor girl.
